Not Just ‘Mall Cops’: Why the Private Security Industry Is Growing
Scripps Media has released their report describing the increasing reliance on private security firms as public police forces decline, a situation highlighted by the requirement for Texas schools to hire armed guards amid a shortage of police officers and high costs.
There's clearly an emerging risk of a widening gap in protection services between the affluent, the government, and the less-affluent. Thus, a need for innovative, affordable security solutions to prevent the rise of organized crime filling the void.
The private security sector must recognize its moral imperative to ensure security for all, not just the affluent. As security professionals, we should prepare for the new era of public safety and redefine security services in a challenging landscape.

The media is flip-flopping on security!
In a shifting narrative spanning two years, the media's portrayal of security officers, specifically from Echelon Protective Services in Portland, has evolved drastically. Once demonized and criticized, these officers are now presented as the last bastion against urban decay. Amidst the challenges faced by cities like Portland, private security firms like Echelon stand as both a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and an embodiment of societal needs in uncertain times. However, as the media spotlight pivots from skepticism to reluctant admiration, one must question: Is this an accurate portrayal or just another angle in the ever-changing landscape of media narratives?

When Observe and Report is Not Ok
In this compelling critique, we examine the state of corporate security in America, using Allied Universal Security as a case study. A shocking incident, wherein security officers allegedly stood by during an assault, and a broader discussion about the 'observe and report' ethos prevalent in modern, big corporate security. We raise challenging questions about the balance between company policy, personal responsibility, and moral duty, and suggest that an over-reliance on policy may be eroding the humanity and effectiveness of corporate security. The video concludes with a call for a new generation of security professionals willing to act heroically and prudently, even in the face of danger.
